when you say it tripped the second line instantly .

Do you mean that you never even got to turn the unit on before it tripped the breaker?

Yes you could have any one of the electrical components that are over amping pulling more amperage then normal ,that is causing the breaker to trip ,it could be the high voltage capacitor or any of the high voltage components.

Have you ever worked on a high voltage microwave before?

And Do you have a Volt-Ohm meter and know how to use it? to be able to do any component or voltage testing
